Abstract

This research aims to conduct a study on the feasibility of the LTE communication method for developing a dedicated integrated railway wireless network. An empirical analysis was carried out by establishing a dedicated integrated railway wireless network in an approximately 12km section between Illo station and Daebul station on the Honam line. Korean wireless communication methods for railway safety are different depending on each line, which makes it difficult for railway workers to cooperate with. This causes various problems. There is the ever-present risk of accidents due to call disconnection between wireless communication systems, frequency interference from commercial networks, and crosstalk. This study verified the feasibility of the 4th generation communication system, LTE, over the dedicated integrated railway wireless network as a solution for the above mentioned problems. The result shows this communication system exceeded existing performance standards of Europe GSM-R in every test item despite the location constraint of train tracks on the base station establishment.

본 연구는 철도전용 통합무선망 개발을 위한 LTE 통신 방식의 적용타당성 연구를 목적으로 하며, 호남선 일로역에서 대불역 사이 약 12km 구간에 걸쳐 철도전용 통합무선망을 구축하여 실증 분석하였다. 한국의 철도 안전 무선통신은 노선 별로 방식이 상이하여 각 철도 종사자간 협업이 어려워 다양한 문제점이 발생하고 있으며 무선통신 시스템간 통화 단절 및 상용 무선망과의 주파수 간섭 및 혼신에 따른 사고 발생 위험이 상존하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 대두되고 있는 철도전용 통합무선망에 4세대 통신방식인 LTE를 적용하는 것이 타당한지를 살펴보았다. 열차 선로라는 기지국 설치 위치의 제약이 있었음에도 모든 시험 항목에서 기존 유럽의 GSM-R의 성능 기준을 상회하는 결과를 보였다.
